“…The improvement of growth performance after probiotic feeding has been observed previously in tilapias receiving several probiont species (Lara-Flores et al, 2003;Pirarat et al, 2011;Standen et al, 2016). The current study is in Figure 2 Liver oxidative stress parameters of Nile tilapia along the growth trial: lipid peroxidation (LPO), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities; glutathione (GSH) and the ratio between reduced and oxidized glutathione levels (GSH/GSSG).…”

“…Probiotics can alter the intestinal immunology and morphology towards a more tolerant and less inflammatory mucosa (Ringø et al, 2007;Lazado and Caipang, 2014), ameliorating the epithelial barrier function (Madsen et al, 2001). Probiotics can also provide nutrients, digestive enzymes (Ray et al, 2012) and enhance the absorptive surface area through longer villi (Pirarat et al, 2011) and longer (Merrifield et al, 2010) and denser microvilli (Standen et al, 2015). Some experiments report the stimulation of systemic innate defences as plasma lysozyme, complement or respiratory burst by probiotic microorganisms (Balcazar et al, 2007) and their implication in the oxidative stress response (Castex et al, 2009;Ozório et al, 2016).…”

As result, animals become more resistant to infectious diseases (Castex et al, 2009) and/or present improved feed and growth performances (Pirarat et al, 2011;Ramos et al, 2015). The properties and effects described are not all displayed by a single microorganism, explaining why microbial consortia can be more effective (Verschuere et al, 2000).…”

“…The proofs of their interest are accumulating, as reviewed in several specialized papers and books (Merrifield and Ringø, 2014) and Nile tilapia is no exception (Pirarat et al, 2011;Telli et al, 2014). Even so, those putative beneficial microorganisms must be tested at every situation.…”

Probiotic administration can be a nutritional strategy to improve the immune response and growth performance of fish. The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of a probiotic blend (Bacillus sp., Pediococcus sp., Enterococcus sp., Lactobacillus sp.) as a dietary supplement on growth performance, feed utilization, innate immune and oxidative stress responses and intestinal morphology in juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The probiotic was incorporated into a basal diet at three concentrations: 0 g/kg (A 0 : control), 3 g/kg (A 1 : 1.0 × 10 6 colony forming unit (CFU)/g) and 6 g/kg (A 2 : 2.3 × 10 6 CFU/g diet). After 8 weeks of probiotic feeding, weight and specific growth rate where significantly higher in fish-fed A 1 diet than in fish-fed A 0 . Alternative complement in plasma was significantly enhanced in fish-fed A 2 when compared with A 0 . The hepatic antioxidant indicators were not affected by probiotic supplementation. Villi height and goblet cell counts increased significantly in the intestine of fish-fed A 1 and A 2 diets compared with A 0 . The dietary probiotic supplementation was maintained until 20 weeks of feeding. Then the selected immune parameters, digestive enzymes and apparent digestibility of diets were studied. No effect of probiotic feeding was observed after that longer period supplementation. The dietary supplementation of mixed species probiotic may constitute a valuable nutritional approach towards a sustainable tilapia aquaculture. The improvement of the immune responses and intestinal morphology play an important role in increasing growth performance, nutrient absorption and disease resistance in fish, important outcomes in such a competitive and developing aquaculture sector.

“…Probiotics have improved stress tolerance and immunity of various aquatic animal groups such as fish species including sea bream, Sparus aurata [11], grouper Epinephelus coioides [57], nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus [58]; shrimp such as western king prawns, Penaeus latisulcatus [59] shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei [60][61][62], and tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon [63]. Among the bacterial genera evaluated for probiotic use, Bacillus species have been successful in improving the stress tolerance in these aquatic animal hosts and more recently in black swordtail, Xiphophorus helleri [16].…”

The present study examined the effect of simulated transport on marron, Cherax cainii, (Austin, 2002) after a 10 week feeding trial using basal diet or customised probiotic, Bacillus mycoides supplemented diet by measuring intestinal bacterial population, total haemocyte count (THC), bacteraemia, morbidity, dehydration and mortality.Packing steps followed the established standard packing method for live transportation of marron. Each treatment group consisted of six polystyrene boxes (65 × 30 × 40 cm 3 ), and each box contained 30 marron from each feeding group. The sealed boxes were placed on a trolley at room temperature to give the effect of transportation. Boxes were opened at 24 th and 48 th hour post simulated transport and marron from each treatment group were returned to the culture tank. After temperature acclimation, the marron were observed for mortality and samples were collected to assess marron health and immunity.The results demonstrated that no mortality was observed at 24 h of transport both in basal diet and probiotic diet fed marron, however at 48h of transport the survival of probiotic fed marron was significantly higher (100 ± 0.0%) compared to survival (93.3 ± 2.8%) of basal diet fed marron. The higher survival rate of probiotic fed marron was also sustained by superior health and immune status indicated by higher intestinal bacterial population, higher total haemocyte count and lower haemolymph bacteria (bacteraemia) level. In brief, supplementation with host origin customized probiotic B. mycoides significantly improved marron tolerance to a live transport stress test, which resulted in no mortality up to 48h of transport.
